Quote From: sammymelbourneWhile your message may have intended to make the poster feel better, it has shown that you have not only had no experience with the heartache of I/F, but you've also not researched the cost of adoption, which is often times as much or much more than infertility treatments.
After trying to conceive for 6 years, I've done everything my finances would allow in order to have a baby. I am not one of the I/F patients out there who has infertility insurance.
If you've researched adoption, you would realize that adoption is also an unsure thing and very expensive, not to mention the emotional hurdles you need to jump before you're ready to start that equally tough process.
If someone came up to me and offered me $16,0000 so that I could adopt, believe me, I'd take it. It's not as easy as just deciding you want to do it, unfortunatelly.
You are missing the intent here. When you claim to want a child and truly desire to be a parent and you're throwing money after money at unsuccessful treatments. People want you to know that adoption can be the answer for you. Most people, especially people that have children want you to have your baby. They want you to be a Mommy and since treatment isn't getting you what you want...adoption can. Yes, adoption can be costly but I assure you a lot less then invitro and the outcome is "Congratulations, you're a parent"!.
